Eighty-five years after the first inflight meal was served, the onboard food and beverage business is worth more than US$11bn a year.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://www.airlineretail.com/?attachment_id=4480" rel="attachment wp-att-4480"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4480" title="arblog_title" src="http://www.airlineretail.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/arblog_title.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="89" /></a></p>
<p><strong>posted by ARCalex 09/05/12            </strong></p>
<p>Last week, British Airways celebrated 85 years since it (as <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/76772368617873670/" target="_blank">Imperial Airways</a>) served the first inflight meal on a commercial aircraft – on the Silverwing London to Paris route, since you ask.</p>
<p>Ten lucky passengers were served on the two-hour luxury flight. Here’s a description of what was available:</p>
<p>“On-board was a small cabinet carrying four gills (servings) of whisky, a dozen bottles of lager beer, two siphons of sparkling water and 12 assorted bottles of mineral water. They also carried a packet of sandwiches or biscuits and two thermos flasks of hot water, with which the steward made coffee or beef tea to nourish the passengers during the flight.”</p>
<p>Of course, inflight offerings these days range from a simple beverage in short-haul economy flights, to a full seven course banquet in long-haul first-class. These complicated variables may be the reason no one seems to have carried out a formal study of the overall size of the inflight F&amp;B market. However, various estimates put airlines’ expenditure per head &#8211; of an economy inflight meal &#8211; anywhere between US$3.50 (north America) and US$7.30 (Air China).</p>
<p>If we take the lowest of these figures ($3.50) and multiply that by the 2.6bn long-haul passengers last year (<em>source ACI/London Heathrow Airport</em>), we comfortably reach $9.2bn. To then add a dollar as an average beverage cost for each of the 2.4bn short haul travellers, we reach a conservative estimate of US$11,617,200,000 per year.</p>
<p>Eleven billion dollars – and that’s at the thin end of the wedge: by the time we factor in the seven-course services and free-flowing cocktails, we’re talking about an awful lot more than that. I recently sat next to an Australian couple on a Singapore Airlines flight from Changi to Heathrow, where they managed to sink no fewer than 16 cans of Tiger between them.</p>
<p>And it’s not just the Gate Gourmets of the world who benefit from this industry. Hundreds of niche food suppliers make a very tidy living from the airline industry: when Northwest Airlines recently cut free pretzels from its offering, it claimed to save over $2m annually.</p>
<p>At our forthcoming <a href="http://www.airlineretail.com/current-event" target="_blank">Airline Retail Conference</a> in London, we expect food and beverage buyers from dozens of airlines to attend. F&amp;B has always been a core part of our conference agendas and our exhibitions feature a strong mix of retail, food and beverage suppliers keen to work with more airlines. See the advert we’ve taken in this month’s OnBoard Hospitality for details (below).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.airlineretail.com/blog-100512/untitled-3" rel="attachment wp-att-5177"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5177" title="untitled" src="http://www.airlineretail.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Food-and-Beverage_OBH.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="661" /></a></p>
<p>Eighty-five years since serving the first inflight meal, British Airways&#8217; cabin crew now serve around 100,000 meals a day to customers. Who could have imagined what a booming industry onboard food &amp; beverage would become?</p>
